TLDR 
1. Satya did tv interviews and was fine if Altman goes back to OpenAI

2. Salesforce’s Marc Benioff wrote a tweet saying he’ll match compensation of any OpenAI team member who wants to join Salesforce 

3. Of some 750+ employees, 700 will move to Microsoft (with Sam) in case Sam doesn’t return. That’s insane. 

4. Vinod Khosla an early investor in OpenAi tweeted that all the openai employees should quit in case their board members don’t resign 

5. Interim ceo of openai  Emmett Shear (formerly of Twitch)  called for emergency all hands on Sunday and apparently no one turned up

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

We had just gotten done with the morning standup and a bat entered our office. 

It started flying everywhere above our heads. Just like it happened in the show 

Most people ran out of the office, but some sone cold people stood there working and unaffected 

Lastly, the bat is still somewhere in our office. It hid itself somewhere in the ceiling and hasn’t been located 😭

An actual scene from the office happened to us today

Saw bhaiya didis shilling the product. Is it legit?

New Scam in town? *Jobsurance*

Dodged another bullet and survived another layoffs! But it's a total bloodbath and teams were ripped apart. Lost 5 team members including my manager!

It's not gonna be an easy path ahead. Things look pretty uncertain. Team shuffles, manager to IC conversion and new remit!

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

In Bangalore Covid cases has started to spike again, please wear mask everyone. Yesterday one person age 62,  passed away due to Covid. 

A leading well known MSME book keeping and Peak XV surged backed startup, has active COVID cases in the office and they are doing nothing about it. I asked the HR and the person was clueless. The positive person themself is informing everyone to be cautious. Health of employees is a joke here. Basic courtesy of informing employees is severely missing. Also not sure what Office Admin/HR leaders plan for our safety. These people will have no impact of their health and their families. I’m expected to come to the office though my work doesn’t require to come to office. I was okay with this. But after hearing Covid cases I have started to feel panicking. 

Also I have isolated myself from my fam and elderly parents. 

In Q4 the organization said it would be transparent. This is how it is planning to do that? Our health doesn't matter? :/

Only making things public, makes them take action. Is this what I have to do every time I need them to meet basic expectations?

If any other company facing this problem? How are you dealing this? Please share ideas to isolate or precautionary measures 🙏
